One or all—that’s the current choice many networks give users when it comes to controlling smart devices. With the evolving Internet of Things (IoT), referring to the technology that connects devices to one another and to the cloud, users need more specific control over their devices. Now, a Japanese team of researchers has developed a solution that may allow both more efficient and more secure control.
The United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union has published the proposed broadcast authentication system as an ITU-T Technical Report « TR.ba-iot. »
« In the future, a wide variety of many IoT devices will be connected to the network, » said Junji Shikata, who is a professor on the Faculty of Environment and Information Sciences, and at the Institute of Advanced Sciences at Yokohama National University in Japan. « Our research team has proposed a broadcast authentication system in which a sender has the ability to control a number of arbitrary target devices remotely and simultaneously.
